Re: [bitfolk] Simplified RDNS for IPv6?

If using static IPv6 configuration then it seems less work to just run a normal DNS server. If you did want to use all-knowing-dns though, you would only delegate the zone to your single VPS as all-knowing-dns would not be running elsewhere. So let's say you run all-knowing-dns on your VPS, vps.glemt.net, and you tell the panel to delegate reverse DNS for e.f.2.f.1.f.1.0.8.a.b.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa to vps.glemt.net. You also tell it to generate host names inside v6.glemt.net, so you also have to delegate v6.glemt.net to vps.glemt.net in whatever nameservers are authoritative for glemt.net. So, all that will work and all-knowing-dns will be answering reverse and forward queries for all IPs inside 2001:ba8:1f1:f2fe::/64. But my point is, if you are already in the position to be managing the DNS for glemt.net and can delegate things inside that zone to other servers, why not add one more zone file and do the static IPv6 DNS?
